PC Crash without BSOD

Lucas Bustamante · Apr 18, 2014

Hello,

My computer is crashing weirdly, without BSOD.

It crashes randomly, the screen gets all messed up, mouse won't move, nothing answers - only solution is to reboot.

Crashes occurs 1 or 2 times a day

My PC specs:

run a program called who crashed. That will read the latest crash dumps and point you to the driver or error that is causing the crashes. If you still need help after that report back with what who crashed found. Thanks! (Might want to run a malwarebytes scan and a sfc scan as well).

Hello,

Neither WhoCrashed or Bluescreeview have logs about those crashes, because they don't generate a dump file. It's not a BSOD, it simply crashes "out of the blue" lol

Hi,

Have you tried setting your BIOS to default settings?

Lucas Bustamante · Apr 18, 2014

Not yet, next time it crashes I'll try

But I'm almost sure the problem is related to my PSU.

Here's my config:

CPU: AMD FX-8120 stock clock
GPU: HD 7850 2GB Core Edition
Mem: 4x 2GB 1600Mhz OCZ Gold Edition
1HB 7200RPM SATA
4x coolers 120mm + 1 fan controller

No DVD driver or whatsoever. I have a wireless mouse, wireless keyboard, webcam and phone recharging on USBs.

Now, the font:

Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 600W

Although it's a 600W, this PSU sucks. On reviews it shows around 450W, and I'm almost sure it is causing my PC to crash.

With these infos someone knows if the PSU is the problem?
Thanks

It isn't crashing, but it certainly looks like your GPU is acting up.

I'm changing motherboard and PSU.

My motherboard is known to be weak for my config, I've been having a LOT of trouble with this computer since I bought it 1 week ago, and after extreme debugging I've come across some problems:

- Inverted dual channel memories causing BSOD (pairing with wrong serials)
- Extremely poor performance in gaming

I have an android app that I can see temps, voltage, core usage and much more from my cellphone, in real time. I could see that my FPS drops were directly related to GPU clock going from 50% to 20%, even with temps around 64° and fan rotation around 40%

All in all, I also found out my PSU sucks, so I'm doing these changes:

Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 600w => Corsair 750W Modular
Asus M5A78L LE => Asus Crosshair V Formula

I'm pretty sure my motherboard is the root of all problems, and PSU is weak too

It's up to you, but I'd test it with another GPU.
